I enjoyed this special. The new voices actually didn't bother me like how others were complaining about them. (However James and Brock's voices needed a little work). I didn't like how mean Mirage Master/Dr. Yung was to Mirage Mew thinking of it as a "flawed specimen". It had it's own personality and soul unlike the other Mirage Pokemon. The battle between Ash and friends' Pokemon and Mirage Mewtwo was awesome to me. Poor Mirage Mew "died" holding Mirage Mewtwo back for Pikachu to finish it off. How this episode was aimed towards all audiences and not only for little kids was pretty good for Pokemon USA's first try. I give this special episode a 9.8/10. Can't wait to see how PUSA will do season 9, for this wasn't bad as many people thought.

Meh, the special was alright. When I really think about it though, even the worst of the voices are not as bad as the theme song that was used. (The PUSA voices grew on me, but that song could never do that.)

Wow. I'm shocked by how ridiculous people can be by posting really ridiculous complains.

Oak having a Dragonite makes complete sense. It is probably a Dragonite that a trainer like Ash sent him. Either that or he is having a research about Dragonites.

And why people are stating that this was created in America as a FACT? I don't think there is a official statement of this. And the fact that this aired only in America doesn't prove anything. Sonic X Series 2 was created in Japan, and yet it aired over all the world BUT Japan.

I kindoff like May's new voice. I can get use to it. I think it was cool that it was May who save Misty,instead of Ash. Makes you wonder what they could have talk about with each other in between the time it took them to get to were Ash was...

I thought May did save Misty. Ash didn't even notice Misty fell LOL, though he did care about Mew. I was shocked at Brock LOL He just vanished and went after Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy, the Brock we all know and love would never do that. Sure some times he goes a little crazy in a girl problem like that but when things got serious he knows what do and normally gives Ash advice in dangerous times like those, that's my only complaint. Oh also I dislike Brocks new voice, every one else I didn't mind, James voice kind of irrated me a little but nothing to bad.

Wow, I finally watched this again, and there were a few humorous comments I made to myself.

1) If I were a trainer and had to fight against the Mirage System, I'd be like "OMGWTFHAX!" I mean, oh my god. While the idea of the system is INCREDIBLE (and pretty good for taking over the world), I think it was just kinda... backwards. Had Dr. Yung marketed as a simulator, it would have been sweet. Trainers could use it to train their Pokemon against all types of different Pokemon. Oh well, there'd be no conflict then, I guess. It's a shame Misty's Staryu got owned so quickly. That's what she gets for having that boring Pokemon.

2) AHAHA, the good guys kept getting owned. I actually had to pause and laugh everytime Pikachu or whoever got slammed, and Mew's death was extremely pleasing and satisfying the second time I watched it. It's like:

4) I'm just amused at how Misty falls to her death and Ash goes on about Pikachu... only to forget about Pikachu for Mew... then remembers Pikachu, then Misty, then forgets about the both of them. The boy can't multitask to save his life.

5) Mewtwo. Should. Not. Speak. Ever.

6) This show's really amusing to watch. It reminds me of the action of the first season, aka, stand and shoot.

Having watching the japanese version of this online, my final thoughts are; The plot still sucked, the animation was still crap in most parts, and the entire concept was still as cheesy as a Wotsit factory.
I don't care if it had the original japanese VAs, and I don't care if this was Wakashamo's final appearence in the show. The entire special still wasn't any better than the chewing gum stuck to the sole of my shoe.

I thought the whole thing was really ominous, and with a bit of tweaking, could have been the 'mature' Pokemon that people want to see. I felt the same way about Movie 8.
And Jessie, Meowth, Max, Misty & Oak sounded fine.

A few points made while watching the special:
Am watching it now on my recorder....I HATE THE DUBS!!! (english).
1)May's voice is...creepy, a 30something yr old voice from a 10 yr old...*shudder* plus the scripts REALLY need work...since when did Ash say "I'm syked??"
2)Animation is the worst I've ever see in pokemon...
3)And how did Staryu get well enough to pull Misty through the lake after Aggron destroyed it?
4)1st time TR get blown off, you hear a Wobbuffet at the end...Wobbuffett was in his ball...
5)Tis rather amusing to see Misty, Ash and Pikachu so easily removed by the machoke and machamp...
6)See what you mean about Ash and his lack of multitasking...IT'S SO FUNNY WHEN ASH GETS KNOCKED OUT!
7)Even Combuskin's voice is wrong...
8)Mewtwo is pretty cool though.
9)Hmmm Pikachu really seems to enjoy getting the crap beaten out of it....

AHHH it ended... I think Toonami are airing it as a 2 parter...
Overall, something that really needed some help...

May still has the crappy line, "See? Sometimes I can do the right thing." while she saves Misty from her doom.

Utterly repulsive. When did Misty think May couldn't do the right thing? Misty never had any qualms with May in the series at all.

And why would May put herself down like that?

Disgusting, it's almost as if one of the 12 year old Pokeshippers of this forum wrote the plot for this special. I bet if PUSA makes another special down the road, they're have Hikari admit how "inferior" she is to precious Misty, and how darling Ash is off-limits to anyone but Misty.
